Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Alejandro Balde is reportedly “open” to a January exit from Barcelona as he continues to struggle for minutes under Hansi Flick at Camp Nou. The left-back was linked with a departure in the summer but opted to stay and try to fight for his spot.
However, he’s gone on to make just four substitute appearances, despite Barca being without key players in defence currently due to injuries. Flick even opted to employ midfielder Brian Farinas against Alaves, saying before the game that Balde “doesn’t have the confidence he needs to play.”
According to Mundo Deportivo, the situation means that Balde is starting to realise that an exit may be the best option in January to get his career back on track.
